What is the Optimum Dimensions (Page size?) for an iwebsite?

Dear iWeb Forum,
In 2006 I made a website using iweb. I never got around to really getting this site to where I want it to be. Now I have a bit of time and want to revamp it. I have tried to find answers to this question on other posts, but I couldn't turn anything up. Apologies if this has been answered before.
First I would like to know what dimensions (page size?)are best to use so that this website can be seen by the majority of regular-sized screens? (I mean those smaller than cinema-sized screens. I use an old 17" studio monitor and it is fine with this. But perhaps on smaller screens on computers at work (Windows) the bottom part is not visible and I have to scroll down to view this area.( I am trying to make a site where scrolling is not necessary). With this in mind what dimensions would constitute a kind of 'safe area' ?
I use iweb version 1.1.2 on OSX 10.4.6.
Here is the site as it stands now:

Any help with this would be fantastic.
Best regards
Greg

Most Web viewers do not mind scrolling down to view content. It's as easy as hitting the spacebar on most browsers and OS's.
More concern should be placed on page width and that is a bit trickier to decide.
My surveys show more than 70% of my visitors use 1024X768 (or higher) display resolution and less than 10% use 800X600 or less.
I believe that iWeb default is 700 pixels (could be wrong as I've only made one page with it).
Unless your page design layout requires a wider display I would use the default. If your page uses lots of text (Web safe fonts) then you could increase the page width (text will wrap) so that viewers don't have to scroll down.
Key factor would be remaining consistent between pages.

  • What is the optimum still image size for use in Premiere Pro?

    I'm pretty new to Premiere Pro so please excuse any extreme stupidity.
    I'm creating a film comprised of various interview footage. I intend to drop in stills (and possibly scan and pan around on them). The still images are coming from various sources and will have been shot on various formats.
    I requested high res images but have been asked what size I want the images to be in mm. Can anyone advise?
    The resulting film will be shown on Vimeo and on a website, but there is also further scope for high def projection possibly.  The film is HD 1080x1920
    Any advice greatly appreciated.
    Thanks

    Make sure that whoever is supplying stills is measuring them in PIXELS. Not MM, not Inches, not DPI - but PIXELS. Nothing else matters in video.
    Your "canvas" in Premiere will be 1920x1080 pixels (for 1080 HD), so that is the minimum size any still ought to be in order to fill the frame without having to scale it up (quality loss). Of course, if the image is portrait-style, then it will NOT fill the frame, but rather will have black on the sides, or replacement background as others have suggested. In that case, make sure that the height is then at least 1080 pixels (width will be narrower than 1920).
    You said you wanted to pan and scan, like Ken Burns, so then you'd want images larger than the 1920x1080, such as the 3456x2304 that was suggested. This allows you to zoom in to some degree using available pixels in the image without actually upscaling the image at all. The more you wish to zoom in, the more pixels you need to accomplish that without degrading the quality by "blowing up" the image.
    Good luck

  • What are the best dimensions to allow for iPad 3 Retina for full-page landscape images?

    What are the best dimensions to allow for iPad 3 Retina for full-page landscape images?
    I read an article and cannot find it that said something about trying to make it 2million pixels and JPG to keep it small, but what exactly should the dimensions be that I ultimately import?  Is there some kind of a "density" setting I have to use, as well, when exporting from Photoshop, for example?

    See Optimizing performance in your iBooks Author books
    Density is discussed by Apple in this context as 'dpi'...
    132 - iPad 2
    264 - new iPad
    At the top of this forum there are popular links listed on the right, including image sizing etc. Be sure to study those existing/previous threads on this topic.
    Good luck.

  • What are the allowable dimensions of screenshots for ibooks?

    What are the allowable dimensions of screenshots for ibookes?  I know the requirement is very specific.
    And what is the best tool to do so?  I tried to use the native screenshot tool but it is hard to make the size precise.

    Minimum size is 600 pixels in the shorter dimension. Maximum size is 2048 pixels in the longer dimension. That's what you get when you take a screenshot on a new iPad. (There is no point in having something larger than this.) Screenshots taken with an older iPad are 1024x768.
    For my book, I just took screenshots on an iPad 2 (1024x768) and used those. They were accepted without complaint.

  • What's the optimum version of Safari for OS 10.3.9?

    My first post here.
    What is the optimum version of Safari for use on a PowerBook G3 "Pismo" running OS 10.3.9? I'm currently running 1.2 (v 125). I've downloaded 1.3.1 but when I try to install it says "Not compatible with this system." Is there some version in between that would work better? If so, I haven't been able to find it, and the Update Software feature doesn't find it either.
    I did upgrade my firmware at some point, but I don't remember how to look up the version. Any help most appreciated.

    Hi and Welcome to Apple Discussions
    The highest version for Panther is 1.3.2.
    Before you can install 1.3.1, you need to install 1.3. This may get you there: Apply the 10.3.9 Combined Update. Do not use the computer while the Installer is running. Once complete you'll need to restart the computer.
    Then, via your Finder, go to your Applications>Utilities folder. Open Disk Utility. When open, click on the HD on the left, then First Aid Panel>Repair Permissions on the right. Once complete, open Safari.
    When the Safari browser is open, go to the Safari Menu>About Safari. Which version are you using? If it is 1.3.2, then you're good to go. If it is 1.3, then run the 1.3.1 installer again. Once finished (I believe you'll have to restart), run the 1.3.2 update. Once the installer/restart is complete again "repair permissions".

  • What is the Firefox start page looking for when it tells me I'm not using the most current version and need to update Firefox? The check for updates button says my version is up to date, but the start page disagrees. Is there a setting I need to adjust?

    Okay: My start page is the one Google provides: http://www.google.ca/firefox?client=firefox-a&rls=org.mozilla:en-US:official and frequently it has a note underneath the search box that "You're not on the latest version of Firefox. Upgrade today to get the best of the Web!" But when I check for updates on the About Firefox window, it says my Firefox is up to date. So what is the start page looking for? Is there some setting I need to adjust? Or is this a Google marketing ploy to get me to switch to Chrome?

    I tentatively think I have the solution; this is for when the session id value 'thing', in about:config, referred to in other answers is already on the default/rest state.
    I am assuming, I don't what to imply certainty in-case there is a value wrong in our browsers, that the problem stems from the fact that our homepage is no longer the default for Firefox.
    So, go to 'Options'>'General' and delete the homepage. This will reset it to the new address, which is 'about:home'.
    I hope this helps some people.

  • What's the maximum print (page) size supported by CS5 64-bit?

    I'm using 64-bit Windows 7, Photoshop CS5 64-bit, and have 24GB of RAM. I've put together some panoramas - big ones, up to 20'-30' long. I know the 32-bit version of Photoshop on a 32-bit processor and OS had a page size limit of around 108" long or so. To print anything longer than that required the use of an expensive RIP.
    Does anyone know if my 64-bit goodness will allow me to print panos that are 20 to 30 feet long, without having to purchase a RIP? I'd simply give it a try, but I hate to waste a ton of paper just to find out that it wouldn't print completely. Any ideas?
    Thanks much!
    Scott

    I think that some print drivers have a limit too, you might want to state what driver you are using.
    Some printers do not use a driver, but an export module, that should alleviate all limits.
    I remember a very old 30.000 pixel limit, that, I think has been lifted. you want to check the reference documents.

  • What is the maximum hard drive size for Imac 8,2, what is the maximum hard drive size for Imac 8,2

    Am wondering what is the maximum hard drive one can put into this computer. I think it's a 3TB but I read somewhere the drive needs a jumper to bring it back to 3mb level cache. Can anyone confirm these details please? I currently have a 320GB drive installed.

    Hi Robbie,
    I found no iMac 8,2, do you mean iMac 8,1 ???
    There is no practical limit to the size, the biggest ones made will work fine... assuming the all important SATA 3 Gb/s speed, WD drives use a jumper on pins 5&6 to slow it from 6 Gb/s to 3 Gb/s.
    Some drives do it automatically...

  • What's the maximum hard disk size for the MBP?

    Sorry the title might sound like a dumb question, but I was wondering if my MBP Core Duo, is future proof regarding the internal hard disk. Will it recognise any capacity, or stuck at a certain level?
    Also what are the largest Apple supported internal drives currently available? Any recommendations?

    That's kind of a gray area, but I think you may be right. Here are the conditions under which Apple can refuse service:
    This warranty does not apply: (a) to damage caused by use with non-Apple products; (b) to damage caused by accident, abuse, misuse, flood, fire, earthquake or other external causes; (c) to damage caused by operating the product outside the permitted or intended uses described by Apple; (d) to damage caused by service (including upgrades and expansions) performed by anyone who is not a representative of Apple or an Apple Authorized Service Provider; (e) to a product or part that has been modified to significantly alter functionality or capability without the written permission of Apple; (f) to consumable parts, such as batteries, unless damage has occurred due to a defect in materials or workmanship; or (g) if any Apple serial number has been removed or defaced.
    So if something breaks that's unrelated to your HDD upgrade, I think Apple still has to service it as long as you didn't break it while performing the ugprade. At least that's my interpretation.

  • What is the Max import file size for Aperture

    I'll some times shoot film and get very large scans done as Tiffs or Jpegs. 500MB+ What is the Max that Aperture can manage, or is it only determined by the Mac configuration?

    I'm curious to know this as well before upgrading. Hopefully it has been improved in Aperture 3. I know Aperture 2 only supported up to 250MB which was near useless if you'd ever made any significant adjustments and edits in Ps and saved it as a .psd.
    All my medium format (digital and film scans) and large format scans give me the maroon "Unsupported Image Format" error while trying to view in Aperture 2.

  • What's the optimum Scratch disk setup for a Macbook Pro?

    Hello Everyone,
    I'm starting to edit video on my Macbook Pro. I'm going to need a scratch disk. Should I get a dedicated 3.5" scratch disk or should I spend the same money on a new HD for my Macbook pro and just use the stock 200gb drive as the scratch disk? It's a mutiuse system... If you were in my shoes, would you put the newer, faster HD inside my computer or use it as a scratch disk?

    Just to jump in on this, and add to the orignal post. I have a Macbook (not pro) and I need to get a external HD. I'll obviously go for Firewire, the only problem I can forsee is importing footage from my DV camera, which is also Firewire. My Macbook only has a single Firewire port. I know most externals have a Firewire Hub built in, enabling you to connect through there, but is that sufficient, will the transfer rates be ok for DV capture, as it seems like the footage would have to go from the camera, to the external Hard Disk, to the Macbook, and back to the Hard Disk, seems like a big effort, which could lead to dropped frames.
    I'm sure this has been encountered before, just asking another question to add to the original post, and also to help me decide.
    One other thing, if it is ok with DV, would it be ok with Hi Def, as I plan to upgrade the camera some time soon, so I wouldn't like to pick something, that would soon be useless.

  • What is the best format and size for a logo in a flash project?

    I have this flash project in which i animate a logo from big to small, the logo in the big state looks pretty good but when the flash movie reduces the image the logo tends to pixelate(i dont know if this term is correct).
    Thanks,

    That is what happens when you change the size of an image.
    The best format for a logo is vector.  Then you can change its size, rotation, etc without any distortion or pixelation.
    If you are unable to go with a vector graphic, try to use several images of varying sizes and switch between them as needed to recreate the tween, or, try a PNG and hope the pixelation isn't too bad.

  • What is the appropriate .tif file size for 1080p Movies in Final Cut Pro?

    Doing pans and moves on stills for projected show 1080. What size should I order my final still images? and is it also 72dpi? thanks

    FCP can handle images up to 4000x4000 pixels.
    Still, it's best to keep the images as close to the video resolution as possible as this reduces the overhead of the program used to dynamically resize. In addition, FCP is not the most sophisticated app for resizing images - Photoshop will do a better job.
    Good luck,
